you can still have contam even with some healthy myc. it just means the myc is dominating the growth medium at the moment.

The answer is yes. If the mycelium smells like fresh mushrooms, it's the real thing. Molds tend to smell a lot like dirt. RR

This is my 1st grow too and so far I had 1 out of 12 jars succumb to green mold, others are colonizing just fine. I guess what I wanna ask is, is it possible to smell the contam but not see it?

Yes. Bacteria will give the jars a garbage type smell. Sometimes it can smell like dirty socks, vinegar, sweet or sour, and a few others, but always unpleasant. RR
